There have been several lines of evidence that parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates production of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I) in bone and that IGF-I stimulates osteoclast formation. Thus, the present study was performed to clarify the possible role of IGF-I in PTH-stimulated osteoclastlike c

Transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) belongs to a family of multifunctional modulatory proteins involved in cell growth, differentiation, development, and wound healing. Although the biological activities of TGF-b1 have been extensively studied, its regulation remains obscure. Here we report the e
Anoikis is a form of cell death that occurs when cells are denied attachment to the extra-cellular matrix. Using p6 cells, that are 3T3 cells overexpressing the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR), we show that these cells undergo apoptosis when seeded on polyHEMA plates in serum-fre
## Background: Loss of imprinting (loi) of insulin-like growth factor-2 (igf-2) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain human cancers and tumor-predisposing overgrowth disorders, such as beckwith-wiedemann syndrome. in a previous study, the authors revealed that certain patients with chi
